The One Hundred Trillion Dollar Idea

For Impact Ideas | | Tom Suddes

There will be a ONE HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLAR TRANSFER OF WEALTH in the next 30 years!

Who will end up with all that??? Not the government. Not the children. And not charities.

It will all end up in the hands of WOMEN!!!

I have shared this idea with a lot of organizations and at a lot of speaking and trainings in the last couple of years. Still not sure anybody is actually paying any attention.

Maybe this will help. From the September 23, 2010 Chronicle of Philanthropy.

OHIO BUSINESSWOMAN’S GIFT PROVIDES $113 MILLION TO TWO NONPROFITS! Virginia B., Dayton, Ohio Businesswoman died in June and left $87 Million to Georgetown University and a $26 Million Gift to the Dayton Foundation. This woman’s husband owned a pharmaceutical company and passed away in 1965. She had managed the company after her husband’s death.

Think about this:

    How many ‘VIRGINIA’S’ are out there?
    How many organizations are still chasing MEN?
    Who would you rather visit with… a BOWG (Politically Incorrect ‘Big Old White Guy’) at a corporation who wants to see all of your numbers and your metrics
    Or, a wonderful older WOMAN with a HEART, who wants to know about your STORY, and the people you IMPACT, and how she can HELP???

Duh.
